50th Aegean Sailing Rally

The 50th Aegean Sailing Rally is ‘setting sail’ on July 19th, 2013.
The Hellenic Offshore Racing Club is organising the 50th Aegean Sailing Rally, which will be held from 19th to Monday 29rd July 2013.

Greece’s most prestigious sailing regatta consists of three or four individual offshore races that usually start and finish at Faliro Bay and take in the beautiful islands of the Aegean.

Once a strictly racing-only event, the rally is now a nationwide sailing festival with many glamorous events preceding and following the regatta. From super yachts and sport-racers to classics, all vessels -great and small- take part in this fascinating race!

Here's the 50th Aegean Sailing Rally's programme:

Friday 19 July 2013, 18.00, FALIRO - SYROS, 90 nm

Monday 22 July 2013, 10.00, SYROS - PATMOS, 88 nm

As in the past, many satellite events will be held during the Rally as well as the Prize Giving Ceremony at the Aegean Naval Command in Piraeus.
